fix(grok): forward the Grok conversation as session_id so OpenAI prefixes stay warm - #6482
Conversation
…ixes stay warm Grok Build sends its conversation identity as x-grok-conv-id and the body prompt_cache_key but never the session_id header Codex clients send. The ChatGPT Codex backend only reuses a warmed prefix when session_id is present, and opencodex reads the same header for thread affinity and conversation logging, so every Grok turn on an OpenAI model was a cold new_bind (13.6% cached input vs 97.1% for the same model from Codex). On the managed Grok surface (x-opencodex-grok: 1) with no caller session header, promote a well-formed x-grok-conv-id to session_id before handleResponses. An explicit session_id/session-id/thread-id still wins. Closes #6481

This introduces a new runtime contract under src/grok/, but the commit changes no structure document even though the ownership table maps this source area to structure/runtime.md. Document the session-identity promotion and its boundary there so the architecture record remains synchronized with the runtime behavior.

For a managed Grok request without ordinary session headers, runAdmittedHttpTurn still receives the original req and calls sessionLaneIdFromRequest(req.headers) before this callback runs, so the promoted session_id reaches handleResponses but not active-turn admission. When 64 identified lanes are already active, such a Grok conversation therefore bypasses MAX_ACTIVE_SESSION_LANES as a sessionless request, and its lane accounting is also omitted. Construct the promoted request before calling runAdmittedHttpTurn and pass that same request through admission and response handling.

Exercise the /v1/responses route in the Grok integration test.
At tests/providers/xai/grok-session-identity.test.ts:111-116, the test calls withGrokSessionIdentity itself, then invokes handleResponses directly. If the route stops wrapping requests, this test can still assert the upstream session_id. Send the Grok case through the server route and assert the captured upstream header.

Summary
gpt-6-astra) got almost no prompt-cache reuse: 13.6% cached input over 88 requests, allaffinity: new_bind, against 97.1% for the same model from Codex.x-grok-conv-idand the bodyprompt_cache_key, but never thesession_idheader. The Codex backend only reuses a warmed prefix whensession_idis present, and opencodex reads the same header for request-log conversation identity and reasoning-replay scope. Codex pool account affinity is keyed onthread-id/session-id(hyphen) and is unchanged by this PR; with several pool accounts a Grok conversation can still move between accounts, which is a separate follow-up.src/grok/session-identity.ts. On the managed Grok surface (x-opencodex-grok: 1), when the caller sent nosession_id/session-id/thread-id, a well-formedx-grok-conv-idis promoted tosession_idbeforehandleResponses. The rewrittenRequestkeeps the unread body and the caller's abort signal. Explicit caller session headers still win, and non-Grok callers are untouched.Closes #6481
